Comparing Food with Investments
+
A non vegetarianeating meat would
kill
around 175 animals in a year
+
Comparing it with a person investing in
meat processing companies like
venkys
ltd or
simran
farms which kill189
crore animals annually. How ?
+
India produced ~ 4.7 million tons
of
poultry meat in 2021. This number
increases by 6% every year.
+
Avg
weight of a chickenfarmed
for
meat is ~ 4 kg. 62%of meat is
produced from achicken, hence 2.8
kg meat
+
4.7 millions tons of meant means~
189 crores chickens killed

Clothing With
Investments

he/she
would

in
companies like Arvind Ltd or Bombay

towards ~ 75 million sheep's annually.

Why we as investors
are to be blamed for
animal cruelty?
+
To run a business, it needs
money from investors. In return
they give a monetary share as
profits
+
Investors are
doubly associated
with the business
+
They make the business
possible
+
They prosper from its profits
Blood Money
+
Our investments are our passive
income
+
By sponsoring (investing) companies
to grow their businesses we are
allowing them to kill or cause cruelty
to more and more animals
+
We prosper from these investments
through dividends/profits which
makes our money
blood money
+
If we don't eat non
-veg
food we
shouldn't live our livelihood with
such blood money too
How to do Veg
Investments
Challenges
How to identify businesses that
cause no or least animal cruelty?
How do I invest in them? I
am not an investment professional
Can Iinvest in mutual funds/bonds/stocks/fixed deposits?
Would
I get lesser returns by investing in an ethical way?
Mutual funds
sahi
nahinhai
*
!
+
As an investor we do not have any control
over which company gets funded through
our money.
+
Our money could be invested in companies
under animal husbandary, poultry,
pharmaceutical, leather industries etc to any
business thatcan make profits
+
The only factor taken into consideration by
the fund managers to decide where to invest
are the financial indicators like PE ratio,
intrinsic value, annual reports etc
* most funds do not qualify as veg
Mutual Funds = Blood Money
Options
